Correction in Progressive News of Interest

CORRECTION:  The first article  in Progressive News of Interest dated
July 28 (“Beaten Down Today, Yet Rising Tomorrow”) contained  an error
in the last sentence of the fourth paragraph, which read: “In addition,
China’s annual population growth rate has been reduced to 12%, compared
to India’s 21%.  World population is growing at an annual rate of 1.2%
(an additional 77 million people a year). China accounts for 12% and
India 21% of this yearly increase of 1.2%, not  an increase of 12% and
21% of their own populations.  In terms of annual population growth,
China’s is 0.9%, and India’s is 1.7%.   By comparison, annual growth in
the U.S. is 0.6%.  Thanks to reader Paddy C. for bringing this editing
error to our attention.
